I am a native Arizonan, something that is not always easy to find. I was born in Nogales, Arizona and moved to Tucson at a young age. I went back to school after a career in banking to complete a Bachelor’s degrees in Anthropology and Biology at The University of Arizona. I also completed a Master’s Degree in Public Health followed by MD at The University of Arizona School of Medicine. During this time I was also a member of Americorps, the domestic Peace Corps program assisting with outreach to women in a rural area outside of Tucson. Currently I am an Associate Clinical Professor in the Family Medicine Department at the University of Arizona..

I have a special interest in providing women’s health including obstetrical care and speak some Spanish.

I am married with three children and three grandchildren. My husband and I moved here after residency in California because I had been here as a student and remembered the Gila Valley Clinic as being one of my best experiences in Medical School. I am very happy to be a part of the way things are done in the Gila Valley unlike the bigger cities. I hope to continue delivering babies and seeing patients in the hospital until I retire someday.
